KITTO MOVED that the minutes of the meeting held April 18, 1977 be approved as
printed, Carey seconded. Motion carried.
HEALTH & SANITATION
LID 282 - K-Mart Sewers. The public hearing on the preliminary assessment roll for
LID 282 was continued from the last Council meeting because of questions raised by
Ron Bemis of Goodnews Bay Mining Co. and Mr. Nagasawa. Public Works Director Ulett
noted that Don Wickstrom of his Department had met with representatives of Goodnews
Bay Mining Company regarding the problems which would be encountered if the sewer
LID boundaries were changed to include all of their property. He pointed out such
a change would make necessary a crossing of the new proposed location for SR 516
which would require petitioning the State Highway Commission for permission to
make such a crossing. Such action would take about six months. He noted that if
Goodnews were to make the sewer extension themselves at a later date it would not
only be less costly but would also cause no delay in the sewer project as now pro-
posed. He stated that Goodnews was now aware of the problems which would be en-
countered and advised they would not seek to have the LID boundaries changed.
In response to Mayor Hogan's question, Ulett noted that Mr. Nagasawa's questions
which were raised at the last Council meeting involved a separate issue, and that
he had no report regarding Mr. Nagasawa's situation. It was noted that Mr. Nagasawa
was not in attendance at the meeting. The continued public hearing was opened by
the Mayor. There were no comments from the audience and no correspondence. KITTO
MOVED that the hearing be closed, Storment seconded. Motion carried. JOHNSON MOVED
that the City Attorney be directed to prepare the necessary ordinance creating LID
282, Kitto seconded. Motion carried.
Request for Sewer Service - Kent Highlands #1. The Public Works Committee reviewed
the John May request for sewer service in Kent Highlands #1. It is the recommenda-
tion of the Committee that the request of Mr. May be approved subject to the condi-
tions of Resolution No. 822, and all other properties in the plat be approved or
disapproved individually. McCAUGHAN MOVED to grant the request of John May to
utilize sanitary sewer service from the Plemmons extension of the sanitary sewer
through Kent Highlands #1, subject to the conditions of Resolution No. 822, Storment
seconded. Motion carried.
Utility Service. The Public Works & Planning Committee recommend approval of the
following requests for utility service outside the City:

STORMENT MOVED that the three requests be granted, subject to the conditions of
Resolution No. 822, Carey seconded. Motion carried.
Request for Sewer Service. John Richards, owner of Lot 13, Rancho Linda Subdivision,
requested sewer service from the City on December 12, 1975. At that time, he was
notified that his property was part of the area known as the "West Hill Island,"
an annexation petition was being circulated and until a determination was made
concerning this annexation, his request would not be considered. He has asked
that his request now be considered subject to Resolution 822. STORMENT MOVED
18
that the request of John Richards to receive sewer service from the Kent-Des Moines
line be referred to the Public Works & Planning Committee, Carey seconded. Upon
Johnson's question, Ulett determined that Mr. Richards had not signed the 1975
annexation petition. He noted that Richards had expressed a willingness to annex
his property, however, at the time he had made the request for service. Motion
carried.
Reliable Distributors Building - Sewer Line & Water Main. The Engineering Depart-
ment has received the Bill of Sale and Warranty Agreement for the sanitary sewer
line and water main which were constructed in conjunction with the development of
the Reliable Distributors Building, 7979 S. 180th Street. In accordance with the
recommendations of the Engineering Department, KITTO MOVED that the Bill of Sale
and Warranty Agreement for these lines be accepted and the Cash Bond released
upon payment of any outstanding City bills against the project, McCaughan seconded.
Motion carried.
Carter Paint Company - Sewer Line. The Engineering Department has received the Bill
of Sale and Warranty Agreement for the sanitary sewer crosssing of S. 212th Street
in the vicinity of 76th Avenue S. which was constructed in conjunction with the
development of the Carter Paint Building. In accordance with the recommendations
of the Engineering Department, KITTO MOVED that the Bill of Sale and Warranty
Agreement for the sanitary sewer crossing of S. 212th Street in the vicinity of
76th Ave. S. be accepted and the cash bond released upon payment of any outstand-
ing City bills against the project, Johnson seconded. Motion carried.
Late Comers Agreement - Carter Paint Company. L. E. Carter has requested a Late
Comers Agreement in connection with the extension of the sewer crossing of S. 212th
St. in the vicinity of 76th Avenue S. Accordingly, KITTO MOVED that the L.E.
Carter request for a Late Comers Agreement be referred to the Public Works Depart-
ment, Storment seconded. Motion carried.
ANNEXATIONS

quired, and that authorization is granted for the circulation of an annexation peti-
tion, Storment seconded. Motion carried.

Motion carried.
FLOOD CONTROL
King County Conservation District. It was noted that a letter has been received
from the King County Conservation District noting that the Board has adopted a
policy effective January, 1977, to request a yearly grant not to exceed $500 per
year from all incorporated cities which have annexed to the District. The letter
noted that Kent annexed to the District in 1973 and the District has been provid-
ing various services to City departments and City residents since that time and
these additional funds are expected to allow continuation of the services provided.
CAREY MOVED that receipt of the letter be noted and referred to the City Adminis-
trator to review the history of the City's membership and report at the next work
session. Storment seconded. Motion carried.
A letter was read from Edgar D. Bauch, Mayor of Tukwila, in response to Mayor
Hogan's letter of April 19 concerning the proposed agreement between the Valley
cities on interim flood control mitigation. Mayor Bauch noted that he expected
the City Council of Tukwila would adopt a resolution authorizing him to sign the
agreement at their meeting on May 2. MASTERS MOVED that the letter be made a
part of the record, Johnson seconded. Motion carried.
REZONE
Garrett. The City Attorney introduced Ordinance No. 2028 providing for the rezone
of the Garrett property from MA to MRM, as directed by the Council at the April 18,
1977 Council meeting. KITTO MOVED that Ordinance No. 2028 be adopted and the City
Attorney directed to record the ordinance upon completion of the conditions set
forth in the Council minutes of April 18, 1977 on pages 8 and 9. Carey seconded.

In accordance with the Council directions of April 18, the City Attorney intro-
duced Ordinance No. 2029 approving the Recreational Vehicle Park Combining Dis-
trict application of Delane Garrett for the placement of a recreational vehicle
park in an area zoned MRM, and imposing conditions upon the approval. MASTERS
MOVED that Ordinance No. 2029 be adopted, and the Attorney directed to record
the ordinance upon completion of the conditions as set forth in the ordinance,
McCaughan seconded. Motion carried.
PRELIMINARY PLAT
East Hill Commercial Tracts. At the request of Chuck Adams, agent for the owners
of the property known as East Hill Commercial Tracts Preliminary Plat, a public
hearing to consider the Preliminary Plat is scheduled for this meeting. Harris
pointed out the location of the 3.26 acre parcel consisting of seven lots and at
McCaughan's request, he read the 12 conditions recommended by the Planning Com-
mission as listed in the Council minutes of April 18, 1977 on pages 12 and 13.
He noted that Mr. Adams had requested the hearing to allow time for him to receive
additional information and instructions from his clients. The public hearing
was opened by the Mayor. Chuck Adams noted that his clients were not prepared
for the requirement calling for curbs, gutters and sidewalks as outlined in Con-
dition #5. He stated that about a year ago he talked to the engineers about
curbing the area and was told that this was not desirable as it had not been done
at the site of the existing Schuck's Auto business where there is an open ditch.
He noted that the condition requiring curbs, gutters and sidewalks, as well as
storm drains, would cost his clients an additional $22,500 - $25,000 to develop
the property and suggested that a more equitable solution to the problem could
be arrived at since other properties in the area were not required to have curbs,
gutters and sidewalks.
Adams also opined that within the next 60 days the Planning Commission would be
considering a 100-unit family dwelling development. Harris commented that if
this was the case, the property owners would be requested to seek a rezone to
allow multi-family dwellings in that CC zoned area. Adams questioned whether
such a development would be required to put in curbs, gutters and sidewalks.
He pointed out that sewer lines would come from the Plemmons ' property and the
water lines would come from 104th S.E. , at a cost of about $25,000 to serve
the seven lots. In response to Mayor Hogan's question, Harris noted that the
Plemmons' property had also had the curbs, gutters and sidewalks condition im-
posed. He pointed out that under the Code these conditions were required when
a larger parcel of land was divided into lots, such as Adams' instance. Adams
stated that it would be possible to leave the property in one large plot and let
the City put in the streets, with possibly an LID for sidewalks. Harris con-
curred that this probably would be the procedure if the parcel was not divided
into the seven lots. Adams noted that it would be necessary to obtain easements
through the shopping center for sewer and water lines.
Harris pointed out for Kitto that he felt that there was a definite need for
sidewalks because of the congestion generated by the development of the area.
He noted that there are many existing problems which cannot be corrected. Kitto
questioned whether there would be a great deal of foot traffic in the area and
Harris pointed out that there would be with a proposed apartment complex such
as Mr. Adams had indicated, along with Plemmons ' apartments, and a proposed
senior citizen housing development in the area. Harris opined that because
of the energy crisis he felt that many more housing developments would be
clustered around shopping centers such as this. He noted that there was a
problem in the area to the North and that the City should not permit further
problems to be created. McCaughan pointed out there were no curbs, gutters
or sidewalks in the new block of stores across the street and Harris noted that
at the time of the splitting of property for that development, the City's ordi-
nances were unenforceable. It was determined that the Subdivision Code was
adopted in 1973-74. Harris noted for McCaughan that the curbs, gutters and
sidewalks had not been required for Adams ' other building because it was developed
as an individual lot, not in a plat. He further noted that the Council had been
requiring curbs, gutters and sidewalks in all of the recent plats. In response
to McCaughan's question, Harris noted that sidewalks were needed in the area and
that Plemmons should have been required to put in the sidewalks when the East Hill
Shopping Center was developed, so that parking areas would be defined. He noted
that because of the locations of the various stores it was sometimes required to
walk a great distance. He opined that perhaps an ordinance should be adopted to
require curbs, gutters and sidewalks for all developments. McCaughan stated that
he felt other developers should have been required to make the same improvements.
Mirk pointed out for McCaughan that there is no legal ground for the requirement
but that the law for dedication and improvements requires that something must
be shown that is unique to the plat that requires the improvement. He noted
that Ring Road was developed to take the traffic from S.E. 256th and 104th S.E.
and now these businesses have access to both of these main streets.
Masters opined that when an area is attracting pedestrian oriented developments,
sidewalks should be required. Harris concurred and noted this was especially
true where the Council has the opportunity to make such a requirement by means
of a public hearing. There were no further comments from the audience and no
correspondence. STORMENT MOVED that the hearing be closed, Johnson seconded.
Motion carried.
JOHNSON MOVED that the Preliminary Plat of East Hill Commercial Tracts be approved
as recommended by the Planning Commission, including the conditions noted.
Masters seconded. Motion carried, with McCaughan voting nay.
PARKS & RECREATION
Bids - Portable Bleachers. Two bids were received on April 20, 1977 as follows
for the furnishing of two sets of portable bleachers for Kent Memorial Park:
Sturdisteel Company, Waco, Texas $4,774.62, incl. tax
Vanco Recreation, Kent, WA $6,286.06, incl. tax
In accordance with the recommendations of the Parks Department, JOHNSON MOVED that
the low base bid of Sturdisteel Company in the amount of $4,774.62, including tax,
which is within the $5,000 revenue sharing budget for the bleachers, be accepted,
Storment seconded. Motion carried.
Tot Lots. At the last Park Committee meeting the present condition of fencing
around the tot lots at lst and Crow, 5th and Crow, and 2nd and Cloudy was reviewed.
The City Attorney is concerned about the safety of these tot lots especially where
the lot abuts a railroad or street. With the Department doing the installation,
the materials for fencing will cost approximately $2,500. The Parks Committee
suggested that this be financed from an unbudgeted sum in the Park Fund unexpended
balance and the matter was considered by the Finance Committee on April 29.
STORMENT MOVED that a transfer of $2,500 from the unbudgeted unexpended balance
in the Park Fund be authorized to purchase necessary tot lot fencing. McCaughan
seconded. Motion carried.
STREET NUMBERING AND NAMING
It was noted that discussion was had at the last work session on the subject of
the inadequacy of the present street naming and numbering arrangement. It has
been determined that a Federally funded program would supply one or more students
to work on resolving the problem. In 1972, the following guidelines were adopted:
"1) Numbers will be used wherever practical,
2) For arterial streets which cannot be numbered, the names of Kent Valley
pioneers will be used, to be chosen from a list provided by the White River
Historical Society,
3) Police and Fire Departments will confer on proposed street names for all new
plats. "
These guidelines, however, did not provide a solution to these existing problems:
In the older part of the City the houses have odd numbers on the west and on the
south sides of the streets and even numbers on the north and on the east sides
of the streets. However, the reverse is true in areas which have been annexed.
As an example, the house numbers for James Street start at the Burlington-Northern
tracks with 0 and go up to 2,000. At the point of the annexed area, the house
numbers jump to 9,000.
In the original town, the numbering center was at the Burlington-Northern tracks
and Meeker Street, so the house numbers between the tracks and First Avenue begin
with 101 instead of 001.
We have no official designation of a cul-de-sac.
It has been determined that a decision must be made as to whether the City would
utilize the County system of numbering, or use our own system. Auburn and Renton
use their own systems and one of the advantages is that it is easy to tell by an
address if a given location actually is within the City limits. This would be
helpful in the instances where costs for activities are allocated according to
City or County lcoation. Auburn uses the alphabet and names for north/south
streets and numbers for east/west streets and Renton uses names on north/south
avenues with numbers for east/west streets.
An advantage of using the County system would be that a stranger could follow
the system between Seattle and here. It was noted, however, that some of the
advantage would be lost since Auburn and Renton have not made use of the County
system. It was determined that the Postmaster, the Chamber of Commerce, Police
Department and Fire Department should have some input on the subject. Adminis-
tration has suggested that the Council should direct the staff to present a pro-
gram, using either of the systems. McCAUGHAN MOVED that the staff be directed
to develop a comprehensive street naming and numbering plan in accordance with
City names and numbers. Storment seconded. Planning Commissioner Helmer noted
that this subject is covered in the Comprehensive Plan as follows:
"GOAL 5: Develop and maintain an address system which allows ease of loca-
tion and promotes a sense of community spirit.
Objective 1: Use the Central Business District as the center for naming of
streets and the numbering of addresses.
Objective 2: Choose street names to promote a sense of community for Kent, such
as persons of historical significance, local flora and fauna, or
other names related to the cultural heritage of Kent.
Objective 3: Minimize the duplication of street names, especially where streets
are not continuous.
Objective 4: Name a committee to develop changes in the names of city streets
where necessary.
Policy 1: Include on this committee representatives of the public, including
the Chamber of Commerce, the Post Office, the Fire Department, the
Public Works Department, and other interested parties."
Holmer stated that this plan provides for names for streets rather than numbers,
and that the plan has been approved by the Council. Masters noted that Kent was
not an isolated area and spoke in favor of utilizing the County system. She
pointed out that it was important for the emergency services to be able to easily
locate an address, and therefore the numbering of streets was preferable to using
names.
Storment spoke in favor of names and numbers for City streets, noting that this
made it easy for dispatchers of emergency vehicles to determine whether the address
was within the City limits. Harris noted that the Comprehensive Plan was adopted
in December and that he would hope that the Council would go along with the Plan
so as not to damage the credibility of the Plan. He noted that the Plan as it re-
lated to the street naming program could certainly be reviewed if the Council
so wished. Mirk suggested that the motion could be changed to state "a proposed
comprehensive plan. . . "
Masters commented that a change in the plan surely would not destroy the entire
Comprehensive Plan. McCAUGHAN MODIFIED the motion to state that the staff be
directed to develop a proposed comprehensive street naming and numbering plan in
accordance with City names and numbers. This was agreeable with Storment, who
had seconded the motion. JOHNSON MOVED to table the matter until such time as
input could be received from the Fire Chief, the Police Chief and Postmaster.
Masters seconded. Motion to table FAILED with only Masters and Johnson support-
ing. McCaughan's motion passed, with Masters and Johnson dissenting.
TRAFFIC CONTROL
Two Hour Parking. At the last Council meeting a decision on the recommendation
of the Public Works & Planning Committee concerning removing the two hour park-
ing limit east of Central was held over to this Council meeting to allow for
citizen input. It was noted that a couple who utilize the Senior Citizens Cen-
ter came to the last work session to protest removal of the two hour parking
limit near the Center and a letter from Kent Medical Center was read protesting
the removal of the parking limitation. STORMENT MOVED that the letter be accepted,
Johnson seconded. Motion carried. A memorandum from Suzette Allen, director of
the Kent Senior Center, was read by the Clerk, also opposing the removal of two
hour parking near the Senior Center. MASTERS MOVED that the memo be made a
part of the record, Johnson seconded. Motion carried.
fai"
Storment noted that after discussion with merchants in the area and several
senior citizens, it was determined that the two-hour parking limitation in
the area should remain. Storment further noted that Chief Skewes suggested
employing a part-time person to enforce the parking limitations by patrolling
the area on foot. He pointed out that the Committee recommended that the two
hour parking limitation remain and that the fine for violations be raised from
$2 to $5. In response to Masters' question, Storment noted that the increase
in the fine would finance the hiring of the patrol person, and Mirk noted that
the $5 fee was now being charged in Seattle. Storment noted that several senior
citizens had raised the question as to the two hour parking limitation when they
were on outings from the Senior Center and he suggested that a parking pass
could be made available by the Center for such occasions which would allow a
car to remain in a parking space for a longer period. McCaughan opined that the
seniors could park their cars in a municipal parking lot and the senior center
bus could pick them up at such lots to alleviate this problem. STORMENT MOVED
that the City Attorney be directed to amend present ordinances to increase the
parking fines from $2 to $5 for the areas presently posted for two hour parking
limits, Johnson seconded. Motion carried.
Yield Signs. The Traffic Engineer has reported that "Yield" signs will be in-
stalled at the intersection of Seattle and Van de Vanter and at Chicago and Van
de Vanter. This problem was referred to the Police and Traffic Engineer at the
March 7 Council meeting. Storment also asked that the Traffic Engineer investi-
gate and report back to the Council and staff about a similar situation which
exists at the intersections of Crest and Laurel, Crest and Hemlock, and Crest
and Chicago Streets.
RAILROAD CROSSINGS
James Street/Burlington-Northern Crossing. A supplemental agreement #1, James
Street Grade Crossing, was received by the Director of Public Works on April 29,
1977. The agreement is to upgrade the James Street/Burlington-Northern signal
by installation of predictors, with the cost being shared as follows:
State of Washington Grade Crossing Fund $16,083
Railroad 2,680
City of Kent 8,042
Total Signal Cost. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $26,805
The sum of $8,100 in Federal Revenue Sharing was allocated in the 1977 budget
for this project. KITTO MOVED that the Mayor be authorized to sign supplemental
agreement No. 1 "Combined Signal and Construction Agreement, James Street Grade
Crossing, MP 15 + 4976, Kent, Washington." Carey seconded. In response to
McCaughan's question, Ulett explained the function of the predictor system in
relation to other railroad crossings. Motion carried.
JOHNSON MOVED that by this action the Burlington-Northern Railroad is authorized
to proceed with the work of improving the circuitry of the James Street Crossing.
Storment seconded. Motion carried.
Ulett reported that the Milwaukee Railroad had started the improvement to the
James Street Crossing and that the crossing at Meeker would be the next one
scheduled for the same type improvement.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Sphere of Influence. At the last work session a discussion was held on the pro-
posed County and City establishments of spheres of influence. Councilperson
Johnson was emphatic that she did not want to see any development that would lead
to a two-tier government. Mayor Hogan, who had attended the meeting held April
25, suggested that the Council support the referral of this proposal to the Sub-
regional Committee of Puget Sound Council of Governments for study in their
work program. KITTO MOVED that the City of Kent supports the referral of the
Sphere if Influence study to the Subregional Committee of the PSCOG, Storment
seconded. Upon Masters' question, Mayor Hogan pointed out that the County
Council had also suggested that the matter be referred to the Subregional Com-
mittee of PSCOG, and further noted that the other cities should be asked to sub-
mit statement of their spheres of interest, so that the boundaries could be
compared. She stated that Kent was the only city which had defined its sphere
in writing. Motion carried, with Johnson voting nay.
4)4
The Clerk read a memo from the Association of Washington Cities relating to
substitute Senate Bill 2430 - METRO/KING COUNTY "MERGER. " Mayor Hogan noted
that a hearing on this measure held this morning had been continued to tomorrow
and that she had been invited to offer testimony. She noted that the Suburban
Cities Association had been against this measure because initially it had not
provided for the vote of the people, and opined further that the matter could
be resolved by King County and the cities involved without the assistance of
the State Legislature. STORMENT MOVED to accept the memo for the record,
Masters seconded. Motion carried.
KING COUNTY CHARTER REVIEW COMMITTEE
The City Clerk reviewed the acitivity of the Charter Review Committee, noting
that the City has received the first of a series of monthly reports. Twenty
citizens from all over King County have been appointed by John Spellman to
review the performances of County government under the Charter rule and to
determine if any changes are needed to increase the efficiency and responsive-
ness. About the end of May the Committee will submit its tentative recommenda-
tions to the public for review and input before finalizing recommendations
to the County Council. Serving on the Committee from this area are John Krausser
of Federal Way, telephone 839-2649, and Lyle Schneider, Auburn, telephone
833-1660. The Clerk also noted that the City would be advised of the time,
place and dates of public hearings to be held in this vicinity.
CITY OFFICIALS
A letter was read from Daryl Prevo, Byron Katsuyama, Bob Clark and Sue Kobber-
stad, students at the University of Washington involved in a field research
course. The letter noted that the course was designed to give each student
a first hand look at the workings of local government and their group would
be studying the five City Councils in King County -- Snoqualmie, Issaquah,
Seattle, Kent and Mercer Island. The students requested an opportunity to
attend the next City Council meeting and conduct short interviews with members
of the Council either before or after the meeting. MASTERS MOVED that the
letter be accepted and referred to the committee of the whole, Carey seconded.
Mayor Hogan noted that she had talked with Bob Clark and agreed to be inter-
viewed. She asked that the Council indicate at the next work session if they
were willing to be interviewed and she would notify the students accordingly.
Motion carried.
LIBRARY BOARD
The Clerk read a letter of resignation from Marian J. Lucas, effective April 5,
1977, from the Library Board. It was noted that Mrs. Lucas has served three
years. STORMENT MOVED that the resignation of Marian J. Lucas from the Library
Board be accepted with regret, Carey seconded. Mayor Hogan noted that appli-
cations for membership on the Board will be received through May 20, with a
recommendation to be made at the workshop of May 23, and appointment at the
June 6 Council meeting. Motion carried.
GASOLINE TAX
Mayor Hogan noted that she and Norman Anderson had attended the Transportation
Committee hearing in Olympia today and had testified in favor of the Highway
Department's budget and in favor of Senate Bill No. 2537 covering the variable
gasoline tax.
FINANCE
ULID #1. The City Attorney introduced Resolution No. 826 authorizing the segre-
gation of Assessment No. 416, ULID #1, for Dale A. Hagen. KITTO MOVED for the
adoption of Resolution No. 826, Storment seconded. In response to Masters'
question, Mirk noted that the subject property was located on East Valley High-
way at about S. 196th. Motion carried.

Revolution Bicentennial Committee, has requested that approximately $700 of the
Bicentennial Funds be transferred to the gazebo project. In accordance with
the recommendation of the Finance Committee, KITTO MOVED that the requested
transfer be approved, Storment seconded. Motion carried.
McCAUGHAN MOVED that the bills received on or before May 5, 1977 and approved
by the Finance Committee at its meeting to be held May 13 at 8:00 a.m. be
